This is a very interesting topic, how many of you have tried this and been 
successful?  Honestly, I wouldn't have ever assumed it to be succesful outside 
of a sterile lab.

Just a further note on sterility.  It doesn't hurt to keep a clean set of 
clothes in the room dvoted to the tissue culture.  And to spray it with a dilute 
solution of Clorox or Physan prior to use. Keep tall est tubes or vials with 
cotton or other plugs in them in the room and sterilized.  Do not bring them 
back and forth.  Organisms from the air can be particularly robust sources of 
contamination.
